With the hope of getting rid of rotting anacondas of braided copper cable crushed between body and frame, simplifying the engine compartment, replacing 45 year old rats nests, and getting back to where there's some color coding I can recognize... I want to convert to a 12 volt system.
Anyone got a checklist of what needs to be done? Good, medicora, bad experiences?
Someone must have done this before - what parts do I need if I want to go with an alternator?
I'm assuming new harness(es), an alternator, mounting bracket, starter, distributor, coil, and I'll part with the milspec plugs.
I figure I can use a 12 to 24V converter to keep the wiper motors happy. Swaping bulbs should not be a problem - although the military headlight reflector are tired. What else to I need to figure in?
